Recommendations for preparing your business for the festival season
Spring has begun. That means countless events and holidays are taking place again, such as King’s Day, various markets, and festivals. Moreover, we can look forward to an active summer with the European Football Championship and the Olympic Games! This creates many opportunities to promote and sell extra products or services. Many entrepreneurs, for example, add an additional sales point outside their usual location. How do you prepare to turn the festivities into commercial success? We have compiled the most important advice for you!
Receiving Payments Outside
Where retailers normally receive most payments at the cash register inside the store, it may happen that payments need to be made outside. Think of an additional stall outside the store or at a festival site. Physical stores usually have multiple card payment terminals. With all the extra activities taking place outside, you might run short of card terminals. Make sure you have enough card payment devices available. Additionally, the payment devices must be suitable for accepting payments outside the store and, for example, be able to connect to a network via Wi-Fi or a SIM card connection.
Explore the Options for Additional Card Terminals
Renting card terminals offers entrepreneurs flexibility, especially for short-term events. Instead of investing in new equipment that isn’t used year-round, you can simply rent card terminals. You can choose the rental period and the number of devices you need. This way, you save costs for your business while making it easier to accept payments in the meantime.
Online Sales and Pre-Ordering
Are you organizing an event yourself? Perhaps you sell tickets through your website. Or maybe you sell a product that quickly sells out and needs to be ordered online in time. In that case, the online visibility of your website is important, as well as having your online checkout in order. By this, we mean the page your customers see during an online payment. When handling online payments in your checkout, make sure that:
-
The checkout has a trustworthy appearance
-
Personal information is easy to fill in
-
You offer enough payment methods to pay with. In the Netherlands, iDEAL is very popular, but there are many other options like PayPal, Apple Pay, etc.
Bring the Sunshine Indoors
In the Netherlands, the sun doesn’t always shine, so make sure your customers experience enough coziness inside or, if you run a hospitality venue, have enough dry seating areas. Especially during King’s Day and the European Championship, you can brighten up your business with orange gadgets.
